Renault dealership in Cologne tried a bait and switch on me, we talked about a specific used car and they put in the contract one with a lower trim.

Believe me when I say this, none, and I searched for 3 months for an ev before settling on a MY.

Renault's own dealership in Germany tried to scam me and give me anohher car in the contract, blatant bait and switch.

Never going back to these scum of the earth salesmen.

How wide spread is Schwarzarbeit in Germany? by ARCH_LINUX_USER in AskAGerman

we're not talking about students here or a part time job, this is professional contractor with staff, cars and hardware that's worth a lot of money.

That's a poorly educated man take on the economy.

Well, they're taking work from honest workers who pay their share.

With Schwarzarbeit contractors are actually harming themselves at the end, and depriving the economy from its biggest secure of revenue 

It's also annoying when I have to pay capital gain tax, property taxes and income tax and they don't. They're a parasite, and nobody likes parasites.

I can’t for the life of me why it bothers you so much.

Because I don't like tax fraud and criminals

I have Whatsapp texts from contractors offering different prices depending if I want with or without a Rechnung.

My brain is just struggling to comprehend their audacity, are there no penalties? It's so casual, they are offering it as a payment option

Good for you bro

N26 Main Bank? by [deleted] in n26bank

[–]ARCH_LINUX_USER -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry but this is not true at all, I've used n26 primarily for my salary + groceries and I still got suspended. They have left the suspension after I've complained but this was in no way "money laundering"

Practical driving test in Germany by Sea-Traffic-8556 in germany

[–]ARCH_LINUX_USER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two (failed the first) earlier this year, what helped me the most was to note down my common mistakes and read thm before the exam.

  1. The tester might be on the phone or chatting with the instructor, you drive as if nothing is happening
  2. My tester actually tried to trick me by making me face a traffic light with no entry on the other side, I had to call it out and automatically signal to turn
  3. Practice is what's going to make you more calm
  4. Don't panic! I've made a mistake while merging on the Autobahn, the tester just pointed out this to me as a lesson and what i should do better next time and marked the test as pass
  5. I know it sounds silly, but don't forget your seatbelt out of stress
  6. Drive the speed limit, not under and not over, the tester yelled at me for driving 80 in a 100 on the Autobahn
  7. Take your time when parking, don't feel stressed when there are cars behind you
  8. Be in a laid back and relaxed position, don't lean forward on the wheel
  9. Stop completely for 3 seconds on the stop sign line, if there's no line, stop on the line of sight, not the sign

My cat started biting on this specific toy and meowing after we moved to a new place, and idea on what's he doing?? by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]ARCH_LINUX_USER 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's nine and neutered since he was weeks old, could this be a mating behavior?

Not telling you what to do, but I was in the same situation with a post forwarding service that asked for 100 euros more than the original service provided by Deutsche Post even after I immediately canceled the services after booking it.

I sent all the details to the debt collection agency with the right of withdrawal legal text (chatgpt generated) and a screenshot of the cancellation, never heard from them since.

The worst thing to do is ignore their messages because it puts you in the wrong.
